Literature and the Continuances of Virtue (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780691610092)

Virtue, as used here, connotes integrity--that living force that issues from persons, societies, or texts in consequence of their accomplishing their distinctive ends. Professor Berthoff outlines the descent of the intuition of virtue from classical times into our own era and examines it as a formative presence in a series of major literary works.

Originally published in 1987.
